Sure you can ;)

Just go into your Unity-installation-folder and navigate to "/Editor/Data/Resources/". There you will find all templates.

NewBehaviourScript.cs
NewBehaviourScript.js
NewBehaviourScript.boo
NewShader.shader

And even UnityObject.Source.js and UnityObject.js that are used in the webplayer's html page.

How do I find the installation folder? I'm using a $$anonymous$$ac. I tried looking through the package contents, I even did a search of my whole computer, and I couldn't find it.

On the $$anonymous$$ac they are in the Resources folder inside the app package. The full path is /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Resources, hit Command-Shift-G, paste this path and hit Open. This should get you into the folder (if you haven't renamed the Unity folder).

That's probably a permission issue. Either use a text editor that properly asks for ad$$anonymous$$ permissions when needed (e.g. Text$$anonymous$$ate does this) or try copying the file to the desktop, edit it there and then copy it back.

I had to log in as ad$$anonymous$$istator, rename the old one and name new one the correct name, there was no way to edit the current one directly.

As of Unity 3.4, they are now located here (Mac):

/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Resources/ScriptTemplates/

If anyone is using the new Linux editor and wondering where these templates are located, you can find them in the following directory:

 /opt/Unity/Editor/Data/Resources/ScriptTemplates

You'll probably need to go root to modify them, but it works!

1) Create Assets/ScriptTemplates to override built-in templates on a per-project basis. 2) Reopen the project

This actually works! Unity won't put the default files there, so you've got to copy the ones you want to override from the folders mentioned above.
